Re: torque converter ? (arabob)
You need to be a little more careful with the throttle, blazing tires and lots of smoke thru 1st, 2nd, and a chirp in 3rd were experienced with Mario's 3.73's and Yank SY3500.

Re: torque converter ? (arabob)
I wouldn't say 'must-have'. It all depends how you drive your car.
Do you go to local drap-strip...? Allot...? If not something like a PT
2400 or maybe a Yank SY3000. I have the SY3500 with 3.42's and
it's VERY streetable, but it too will chirp 1-2 and 2-3 at WOT.
It certainly will change the performance, but without the overall or
daily drivability if you go with a 'mild' set-up.
